Quiet everybody – VPD wants to say something

Vancouver’s police chief has lashed out against his critics, claiming the riots in London and the police’s swift response have nothing to do with the riots that took place here.

Faced with taking two years to analyze more than 1,600 hours of video footage in order to identify those involved in the Stanley Cup riots, the Vancouver Police will spend $160,000 to have the job done in about three weeks by experts at the University of Indianapolis.

British police have already arrested more than 3,000 people and charged the 1,000 suspects in UK riots. Two UK men have received four-year sentences for inciting rioters through social media.
